Devil May Care will be published in May 2008 to celebrate the Centenary of Ian Fleming's birth. This new instalment in the adventures of the world's most iconic spy has been written by one of Britain's most admired novelists, Sebastian Faulks.
'My novel is meant to stand in the line of Fleming's own books, where the story is everything.' said Faulks, 'In his house in Jamaica, Ian Fleming used to write a thousand words in the morning, then go snorkelling, have a cocktail, lunch on the terrace, more diving, another thousand words in late afternoon, then more Martinis and glamorous women. In my house in London, I followed this routine exactly, apart from the cocktails, the lunch and the snorkelling.'
Picking up from where Fleming left off in 1966 with The Living Daylights / Octopussy, Faulks has written the perfect continuation of the James Bond legacy. Devil May Care is set during the Cold War and features all the glamour, thrills and excitement that one would expect from any adventure involving Bond - James Bond.

Faulks has done a fantastic job of writing as Fleming, it is obvious he has done a lot of research into James Bond and Ian Fleming. The book is great and will be reviewed elsewhere.
The audio book is excelent. Just like it can be difficult to put down a good book it was at time difficult to leave the CD player in the car. Northam is a natural narrator, each character was given his own personality through the narration.
This is the first audiobook I have got that I can say the narrator managed to read at a fast pace, use different tones and present the book like you are at the cinema.
